Hi everybody, please excuse me if my writing is not correct, i´m german. This is my first thread and also my first track frame. I am no expert and i have no idea about that frame, I have it from eBay. Maybe you guys can tell me which model it is and the year it was built?
I´m thankful for every answer, Chris...

Guten Morgen,
Chris Welcome to the forum. I'll just throw this out to start discussion.
Possibly (saying this because of the style of frameset decals, esp the right rear stay decal) this is a mid '70s frameset Mexico, or with the Campy crankset and headset more likely a Super Pista ????
However the seatpost looks like something from the Mid '80s.
It is a little hard to judge the color on the website photo image----But is it possible that the forks have been replaced on this frameset---the color just doesn't look quite the same for the two items on my computer monitor??????
There are many discerning members on this site who will soon add their thoughts------I'm sure.
It is certainly possible that items may have been replaced or updated.
Anyhow, it does looks like you have a sound Reynolds 531 Frameset--and with a wheelset addition you are ready to Blast Off!!!!
Gutenabend von der Salina, Ks.
I Like Steel !!!

Grüße und Willkommen...
I agree with C.A. that it looks like a mid 70s Gitane Super Pista track bike. The full Reynolds 531 tubing sticker on the down tube, plus the Campy cranks and headset are correct for that model.
The fork may be replacements because it would have originally had chrome plated "socks" like the rear stays. |

Ok thank you very much so far Is this frame - if it is the super pista model - a good frame? The Reynolds tubing is good steel I think, isn´t it?
I like your german writings
Have a nice xmastime all !!! |
